Ok my personal findings from keeping rcs they aren't super particular to tds (total dissolved solids) but do die off in my higher tds tanks compared to the others. I try to keep them around 200-300 tds you can buy a cheap meter off of eBay. Also I would venture to say the way you acclimated them...

Good luck let us know what happens ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have kept them together also. I agree with the above posters about the fry. Also would like to add guppies are a bit more boisterous I think so having good amount of plants is a good idea that way the scared neons will come out more. Just my personal opinion Sent from my iPhone using...

Well by my very ruff count your up to 14 gals of water taken up each Cory I counted as 3 inches I don't know what you have they can get big so you have a lil wiggle room. You can fit 2 more cories or 3 possible danios. But it also depends on your filter. I have more filters and plants in mine to...

Nerites are major algae eaters mystery snails more junk food (left overs) so go for the nerites not to mention the mystery can reproduce like wildfire and the nerites cant Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

You have to severely clean that tank there are prob eggs still in it once you have a snail prob they are hard to get rid of. Dump the substrate (sand) scrub out the tank (eggs look like tiny dots) scrape them off with a razor. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I've never not run active carbon in my tanks so I can't say as to if that works. I just know that he had horrible parameters when I started working with him and now besides the cloud his tank is good. I have to ask I mean I understand in a sw they aren't useful in fw either I run bio wheels...

He does have active carbon constantly running he wasn't using it correctly until I helped him about 1-2 months ago he was just washing his filter out and putting it back in. I showed him the filters he needs to use and is now replacing them once a month Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi all I have a friend I'm trying to help with their tank and I can't figure the problem they've had cloudy water for a bit the parameters are 6.6 ph 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and 10 nitrate. They do regular water changes 5 gal with 2 goldfish yes I know overcrowded I'm working on that. Sent from...

No nerites need to be added to salt water to get them to spawn so they won't reproduce in your freshwater tank that's why I like them:) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I've never had babies in my breeder net I think it would work I do have a crystal bee shrimp in a net he is in there with a potted plant hair grass he is waiting for an appropriate home but has been in there 3 weeks no issues besides algae build up I have to clean up but the amanos in the tank...

Ok I have done some research in the area so here is what I know. Personally I have several nerites. They are great at algae eating cleaned my 29 gal right up. But most importantly the can't breed in freshwater they have to be put in salt. Snails reproduce rapidly especially those kinds you...
